Remote Control is the fifth album released by The Tubes. This was their first to be produced by the studio "wizard" Todd Rundgren (the other being 1985's Love Bomb). It is a concept album about a television-addicted idiot savant. The cover of Remote Control is also a classic, showing a baby watching The Hollywood Squares in a specially made "Vidi-Trainer".
